Recordist's notes

Continuation of the Maienzugs. Due to noise there are three cuts in this recording. You hear first applause for the brassband of Maienzug 1 and their version of Michael Jackson's Thriller, other brass bands (one quote Smoke on the Water), and again the Burschenschafter with their strange rituals of singing and stamping.
